"Wasted Time"

"Wasted Time"

If it is true...that love is blind;

Why is true love so hard to find?

So many years observing the possibilities,

Not one..ring in hand..down on his knees.

With eyes wide open, seeking Mr. Right,

Yet still lying restless and alone at night.

As these long years slowly pass me by,

Even a short bald one would be worth a try.

Lower your standards, is all that one hears,

Or remain on your own, the rest of your years.

Now dating more, searching through the crowd,

Finding many losers who are boisterous and loud.

Looking at men now...at the end of the line,

Drunkards and idlers, divorcees and jerks of all kinds;

Alone home alone...guess I am left on the shelf;

There must be one out there... I say to myself.

There is a lot of action..on the bad end of the line;

Guess I 'll stay alone, I am tired of wasting my time.

I enjoyed this poem.
"Drunkards and idlers, divorcees and jerks of all kinds;
Alone home alone...guess I am left on the shelf;"
Sometime better to be on the shelf than wasting time. This is my kind of poetry. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Like they say if it in our destiny we will get it or find it. For destiny is like a hunter looking for us but when it find us in the right time and place we will know it in the hearts. A very good piece and I hope that you keep the faith ...:)

I agree with Jacob. No one should ever lower standards... and settle. This is another very good write, Kathie.
I long ago learned my baldness has nothing to do with anything else. lol! Those are good lines, by the way.
I do enjoy poking fun at myself at times because of my ability to tan the top of my head with ease.
A bald person must take very careful care to make sure his hair is combed to perfection. Just one hair out of place stands out clearly.
A stylist once laughed herself silly when I told her Joe needed a closer trim. She understood when I explained to her that I had named the hair I had remaining. I figured if they were going to hang with me, they deserved a name. She thought is was cute, then lost it when I mentioned Sally. Yes, I explained, I'm comfortable even with my feminine side.
See, being bald doesn't have to be negative.

i think staying alone is better than lowering standards...

he'll come along...and most likely will have hair.

ah this is a lovely sonnet , sometimes i feel this way also about love but we're not human if we give up hope on it , sometimes i think to myself that certain people need to suffer for other's to have that happiness of love so that those people who have it can cherish it unfortunatly i believe i'm one of the persons that needs to suffer lol. but this is a good poem keep it up its superficially nice :)
